2014 Buick Verano I’ve had 4 batteries put in. They tell me I don’t drive it enough low mileage. This is an excuse should be recalled it’s electrical battery being drained. Only on Verano with all the bells and whistles. So aggravating.

[image] oldnotdeadyet: What would others think of the idea of installing a battery disconnect? That is what I would do, if the parasitic drain cannot be found, or if it is inherent in the design of this car. If using a battery disconnect causes any major problems, then it sounds like it’s ti…

[image] bcohen2010: If using a battery disconnect causes any major problems, then it sounds like it’s time to get rid of the car and buy something else–preferably an older model without all the silly “high tech” features. Given the used car market right now, that’s foolish. If a parasitic dra…

OP, ask your shop to measure the parasitic drain current. That’s the amount of current drain the battery experiences after the car is turned off, doors locked, everything off, and has been sitting for a couple hours. Let us know what they tell you. That number is 2 mA on my truck, 15 mA on my …

My Buick Verano has the same problem. I have had it diagnosed at the dealership 3 times and they can’t find the problem. Its some kind of manufacturing issue that is only showing up after 9 or to years. Unfortunately, you have to use a trickle charge no matter how much you drive your car.

Sounds like you need to find an Automotive Electrical Shop, that specializes in electrical problems, they will find the issue and repair it… I have sent many customers to the one in my area…

[image] davesmopar: I have sent many customers to the one in my area… From what I’ve seen here why weren’t you the one to diagnose the problems? You seem more electrically knowledgeable than many “experts” I’ve run in to.

[image] k916lewis_191651: Its some kind of manufacturing issue that is only showing up after 9 or to years Manufacturing issues typically rear their heads in a relatively short time period. After that, it is usually either a design issue or component failure. Nine years after manufacture, I’m…

Well don’t forget that parasitic drains can be intermittent. I’ve had two that I just found with luck. One I came out to the garage at night and the interior lights were on. Traced it to the door handle button. The other had the test light on and found nothing but then the light went full on. …
